“Star Trek Discovery” is on the verge of a new season

If you’ve been keeping up with CBS’ Star Trek Discovery TV series, then surely you’ve been reveling in the awesomeness of the space odyssey and the deserved rebirth of the Star Trek franchise.

And as such, it really should please you, and not come to you as a surprise, that Star Trek Discovery is slated to get a season 2.

For Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive, it was a numbers game (and a great narrative and creative team too):

In just six episodes, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY has driven subscriber growth, critical acclaim and huge global fan interest for the first premium version of this great franchise. This series has a remarkable creative team and cast who have demonstrated their ability to carry on the ‘Star Trek’ legacy. We are extremely proud of what they’ve accomplished and are thrilled to be bringing fans a second season of this tremendous series.

We’ll be sure to keep on track of this. Can’t get enough of Jason Isaacs and Sonequa Martin-Green.
